Details of the lives of ordinary people in the 1980s

Details of the lives of ordinary people in the 1980s - Yuliang, line up to buy groceries, cement floor white and gray walls, bicycles

The standard image of a boy from twenty years ago was a pair of white sneakers, blue cloth pants, and a satin-slim set on his elbow. They stood on the street with a buzz cut, and they were completely "cool brothers", which would ensure that young people who are now fashionable cannot pirate. The girl's house, who was in her prime at that time, naturally couldn't bear the loneliness. They wore red and blue floral long skirts and carefully pleated on the corners. The girl who was the best at dressing up wore white skirts with textures to prevent her from leaving.

Light, they put on a layer of petticoats, and when they walked, the corners of the skirts were flying, like a cloud in the clouds on the hustle and bustle, with a sense of demeanor. At that time, Yeliang was a symbol of exquisite life. We often wore it on the streets, and our hearts were full of expectations. Looking back now, that simple longing is really something to moan: Yeliang and the street scene along the way express their hearts to each other, and the morning breeze suffocated our white shirts. But the passionate woman just smiled at us from afar, and the big guy brewed for half a night to wait and finally lost.

I remember that the clothes were born and destroyed at that time, and generation after generation. Relatively speaking, the "food" in the early 1980s was much simpler. The most we ate in winter was the cabbage we saved. Every family pickled some rice dumplings and mustard lumps. I boiled them in pickled soup and dried them in Qingming Festival next year, and then they could be eaten for a long time. But if I always eat like an African refugee, I can't help and I can only queue up to buy vegetables. According to regulations, peanut oil is half a kilogram per month, and it is supplied with tickets. Pork liver and powder intestines are still rare. If you want to buy them, you can get a supply and marketing cooperative to find an acquaintance to go to the back door.

The queue was so crowded. You stepped on my feet and I touched your shoulders. The bustling shouts were full of fists and palms. It was even worse when it rained. The pouring rain water mixed with mud poured down from the black corrugated, and the collar and trousers were covered with mold. Countless hands were holding fragments of fur tickets and shouting. When there were too many people, the attitude of the salesperson was naturally not good. Many little heads huddled in their mother's arms scared the fierce aunts in the state-owned butcher shops cried. Later, in winter, greenhouse vegetables were found, and meat and vegetable tickets were cancelled. The older generation was talking about socialism...

Let’s talk about the “living” in the 1980s. At that time, the people were not rich, and they didn’t fill their stomachs and didn’t dare to do anything. The residential shantytowns were all in a row. Standing on a commanding height and looking down, it was really spectacular. The horns and corners of the city were filled with black bricks and tiles. The noise of the east, the laughter of the west, and the sound of gray doves passing by the sky were full of noisy scenes. The bricks and tiles were also built obliquely, and the morning was in danger, at any time

It is ready to collapse. The most popular thing in the house is the white and gray walls on the concrete floor, which are simple and solid. The rough gravel. Scratched with your hands, and the dust will fall down. After the gray paste on the white wall falls off, the covered gray spots will flow out finely and densely, like the wrinkles on the old man’s forehead, which makes people feel a little sad when they see it. But every household is like this, so naturally there will be no resentment. The just-increasing sorrow will stop in this rough building.

Finally, we should talk about the most fashionable means of transportation at that time - bicycles. They often roar in small alleys, either at lightning speed or tilt, and bells ringing. Young people modified the broken car with paint to an unrecognizable face, old and modern, playing tricks in the open space, disturbing the hearts of neighbors. The best bicycles are the "phoenix" and "permanent" signs. Adults use them to bring children, sending them to the evening, and alleys move behind them, moving light and shadow. At that time, it was rare to see imported cars on the street, and anyone with a few bicycles at home,

It is something worth boasting, so we joked that we called our mounts "BMW" or "Cadillac", riding them on the old streets for thousands of miles. The most beautiful scenery is that the handsome guy carried a big girl on his bicycle and sang songs through the streets and alleys, which really made many neighbors envious. The swaying bicycles can be regarded as the bottom of the 1980s, and they are the only thing that can retain the monument of time. Now, stop and look back, the past is full of wreckage. We just turned around gently and they dissipated with the wind.
